In 1882 I signed him for Providence, and I can truthfully say that next to Radbourne, our great piteher, Paul did more than any man in the team to win the pennant for us. He 1s a speedy and daring base runner and as timely a batter as I ever saw. He excels in head work and trickery. Paul is one of the best rigit fielders in the league, and has thrown out more men at first from right field than any man who has played that position. He was known as a mascot in his early experience, and never played in a losing club until he Jeined the Kansas City club on its admis- » Sion to the league. Since then he has, had. the misfortune to always get with of losers. His value as a utility maw hae * been demonstrated frequently in his lang | ‘career, but never so signally as by his | showing at shortstop with the Washington club this year.” Base Ball Notes. Manager Schmelz is again complaining of the umpires robbing his club. If he had recognized the fact six weeks ago that his club was a weak one, and had strengthened it, he would have been given more credit by local patrons. No one besides himself and a few of his friends believed the Wash- ingtons would make a creditable showing. In Baltimore, out of 30,000 guesses a’ to, the standing of the clubs, every one puf' the: Washingtons down in last place. THi¥: is’ but a sample of the judgment of base ‘Ball Patrons throughout the country. This*tdlk of being robbed by the umpires makes ’péo- pie laugh. Stupid base running, weak hit- ting and ragged fieiding have lost the local club games, and ncihing else. Much as Gleason is needed by the Balti- more club in the west the deal still hangs fire. Gieascn claims that President Von der Ahe of St. Louis owes him back salary, and says he will not sign with Baltimore until this is paid. . Baltimore, by losing yesterday's game. lost 14 percentage points, and now leads | Boston only 31 points. Brooklyn, by losing | to Cincinnati, dropped to fourth. place, and Pittsburg is now third on the list. 2 Mullane will be relegated to the bencl until he regains his effectiveness.

He is with- out question the most popular man in the party because everyone knows just where he stands and just what his political prin- ciples are. You see he is one of these every day men who 1s approachable at all times, even by the most humble and unknown people, and he don’t kiss the mechanics babies around election time and ask after their families like a priest or doctor, and then give them the cold shoulder efter the votes are in. He is a thorough man in every way, a splendid lawyer, possesses a vast amount of wise discriminating power and @ strong will, and if he is put at the head of the ticket for governor there will be nothing to prevent the democrats from piling up a great big majority. “A mighty queer boycott has just been started in Brooklyn,” said J. R. Walters, |an architect from the city of the churches, at the Riggs House today. “At a meeting of the Kings County Woman's Christian Temperance Union last week it was decid- ed that none of the members of the organi- zation should eat anything that came from | @ny grocery store whege liquors were sold,or | give their patronage to any merchant who orders wines or other intoxicants for his customers. There are, I understand, about 3,000 members of the organization in Brook- lyn, and if they all stick to the pledge that the resolution implies it may have a eerious e‘fect on the business of several of the wet grocers, and cause the proprietors of these establishments to call in the law to their assistance, aa there 1s a very stringent statute against boycotts which prove detri- mental to a private business. The grocers, however, appear to regard the matter as a good joke, and assert with every appearance of conviction that the fairer minded mem- bers of the W. C. T. U. will not allow any such interference with their domestic ar- rangements as the resolution I have spoken of implies. “I had mock turtle soup for dinner to- day,” said Capt. Andrew Hopkins, an old wariner, at the Metropolitan yesterday, “and is reminded me of an experience I once Lad with a school of the real animals down on the edge of the Gulf stream, about sixty miles from Hatteras. I was part owner and captain of the Mary Lyle at that time, and was coming up from Savannah with a half cargo of rice, when one morning the lookout yelled to me come up on deck and look at the sea turtles. When I got up and looked over the rail the whole ocean as far as I could see ahead of us was covered with turtles. There were tremendous fellows and were paddling along lazily in the oppo- site direction to that in which we were going.” It didn’t take us long to rig up a windlass and tackle and begin pulling some of the old fellows aboard. We picked the biggest, as they came, and in the course of three hours we had caught twenty-six,about. all that we could handily dispose of about the hip. Only nine of them lived until we reach New York, and we sold them for good prices. The shell of one that weighed 470 pounds is now in front of an eating house on Houston street in New York. I would hate to say how many turtles were | in sight of the Mary Lyle that day for fear somebody might think I was fish yarning, but they came by us steadily for five hours, und after we got well into the school it ex- tended as far as the eye could reach on all sides, and there was a turtle to about every forty square feet of water, and I didn’t see one that weighed less than 150 pounds.” | “While the tariff question is bothering the political and the commercial world, the domestic is still stirred to its depths over the servant question,” said Richard E. Brar.ran of Cincinnati at the bitt this morning. “North, east and west the Amer- ican housekeeper seems to be at the mercy of her help. In the south there is but little complaint, because the colored peaple con- stitute the servant class, and they are, as a rule, faithful, industrious and competent. I believe that the domestic servants wiil hever prove satisfactory in our country until some laws are adopted for their gov- ; ernment, which will also protect the inter- ests of the employed as well as the en- ployers. They have a system in Dresde1 and I suppose it holds good in other part of Germany, that acts like a charm. Any person who gives a recommendation co a servant who is not worthy of it is held ac- countable by che authorities for any dam- ages that the next person employing the servant may deem themselves entitled to by reason of the false representation. If @ servant is dishonest and the employer faiis to prosecute him the employer is held Mable for any theft the servant may be guilty of after leaving his service. An American lady residing in Dresden w: congratulating herself upon the jewel of a girl she had gotten to cook for her. One day a German policeman came to the door and told the lady that her cook was steal- ing from her. The American very prompt- ly and indignantly denied the imputation upon the girl, but the phlegmatic official was obdurate. He persisted that the girl Was a thief, and said that she was sys- tematically stealing the coal from the bins in the cellar and giving it to a confederate. The lady called the girl, who burst into tears, and confessed her theft when con- fronted by the officer. The latter then told the astonished employer that she would either be compelled to prosecute the girl or become pecuniarily responsible for all thefts the girl might commit after she left her service. The lady refused to either dis- charge or prosecute the girl, who was otherwise a splendid servant, and because the family who employed her were going to return to America in a short time, any- how, and she would run no risk of re- sponsibility. If something of the same sort was edopted in this country there would be less peculation by servants. Nowadays The Immigration Commission Propounds Some Exceedingly Pertinent Questions. The Extent of the Padrone System—~ Remedies for Existing Evils Asked Scattering Emigrants, The immigration commissioners, recently alpointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, have prepared snd are now sending to workmen in all trades, labor organizations, governors of states and others interested in immigration matters cireular letters asking for information bearing upon the subject. The circular to workingmen asks for replies to the following inquiries: 1. What changes, if any, in the rules and regulations now in force are necessary in order to secure a more efficient execution of existing laws relating to immigration and | the laws prohibiting the importation of alien laborers under contract. 2. Whether said laws are defective in any particular, and what practical difficulties, if any, have been encountered in their @x- ecution. 3. What effect, if any, immigration has had upon the wages of labor or epportuni- ties for employment in the United States, | and whether or not the existing industrial condition of the country is attributable in any degree to the influx of laborers from abroad. 4. Whether any measures, and, if so, what, can be adopted under existing legis- lation to discourage the concentration of immigrant laborers in particular localities and to secure a better distribytion of im- migrants whose admission to the country is not prohibited by law. 5. Whether the “padrone” system exists in this country, and, if so, to what extent | and among what classes of immigrants,and what measures can be taken under exist- ing laws to break it up and protect Ameri-/| can laborers against its evil effects upon | wages, and at the same time improve the social and economical condition of the im- migrants. Continuing, the circular said: CHICAGO STRIKERS IN JAIL. Seri 1s Charges Are Preferred Against the Leaders. Sevén leaders of the strikers are inmates of the county jail at Chicago. Today they will be asraigned before United States Com- missioner Philip F. Hoyne, on the charge al criminally violating section 5440, chapter 5, | of the United States statutes relating to crimes and criminals, and which provides that if two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States or to defraud the United States in any manner or for any purpose; and if one or more of such parties should do any act to effect the object of such conspiracy all of ihe parties in such conspiracy shail be hable-w @ penalty of not less than $1,000 or more’than 310,00, or not more than two years’ imprisonment. ‘The prisoners are Edward O'Neill, Charles Saylor, alias W. H. Taylor, John Duffy and Wilham McMullen, who were arrested at Hyde Park on the charge of knowingly and willfully obstructing train No. 23 of the Illinois Central railroad, which carried the maiis of the United States, and Frank Mc- forvy, a fireman, O. Gusseno, also a fire- man, and James Murlin, a switehman, and who are charged with: knowingly and will- fully cbstrucung a west-bouna train on the Rock Island road at Blue Island, and which train 4lso carried mails of the United States. “Che @rrest of the men at Blue Island was effected late Saturday night by a posse of Uniiii States deputy marshals in charge of Chiet Deputy Jonn A, Logan. Upon reach- ing. the scene the fifteen marshals were confronted by a mob of over so men, head- ed by Murlin, who had been recognized by | Pumercus spectators as the striker. who threw the switch that ditched the engine of the outgoing train on Saturday night. The mob was in an ugly mood, and for a} while it looked as if the deputy aeoett were at its mercy. Deputy Logan ordered nis men to display their insignia of office, and told the crowd that he and his men were there for business and proposed to serve the warrants which had been intrusted to,tuem. Thereupon the crowd fell back, and the three men who were known to several of the deputies were captured without opposition on the part of their associates. The mob contented itself with crowding around and shouting at the officers. When the prisoners were booked at the couny Jail: they made strenuous and viciferous de- mands for a hearing and bail, but no atten- tion Was paid to their request and they were locked up in cells. The preliminary hearing before United ‘a | States Commissioner Hoyne was fixed for ‘The commissioners have also been di- : rected to secure and report such informa. |1¥ o'clock this morning, and in the mean- tion, from all available sources, as wil | time the men were compelled to remain in cnable the department to employ its official | j#!l;_ 4 number of local members of the A. force in the most effective manner for the /*.

If it were not for this false sen ment, and if prosecution and punishment were made to follow theft, we would have a better class of help, and the life of a housekeeper would be all the more beara- bie.”” i GETS DAMAGES, A Peculiar Railroad Case Tried fore Judge Cole. Saturday the case of Edward Gorman, administrator of Samuel E. Gorman, against the Richmond and Danville Rail- road Company, occupied the attention of Judge Cole. and a jury in Criminal Court No. 1, Sami. E. Gorman, a plumber of this elty, was killed in the frightful railroad ac- cident at Boston bridge, N. August 27, 1891, In which one of the company's pas- senger trains was wrecked by the giving way of the bridge. The well-filled train fell seventy-five feet, and more than a score of people were killed and many more tn- jured. Mr. Gorman, an industrious, skilled workman, left a widow and three smal shildren. Shortly after the accident one Brown, a North Carolinian, attempted to take out letters of administration in North Carolina, claiming that Gorman had some little personal effects there. Alleging that he was Gorman’s administrator, Brown, upon a@ bond of only $#, attempted to effect a Settlement with the raflroad for $2,000. The widow and children repudiated him, and the grandfather of the children was ap- pointed administrator by the court here. He thereupon sued the railroad company, , claiming $25,000 damages. The company | pleaded in defense the alleged settlement with Brown. The trial continued all day, the jury returning a verdict in favor of Administrator Gorman for $14,500. pe Sea Appointed Guardian. In the matter of the estate of the late Serator Perkins of Kansas, the widow of the deceased, Louise I. Perkins, has been appointed guardian of her son, Bishop Chapman Perkins, her bond being fixed at $10,000. In her petition for appointment Mrs. Perkins stated that her husband had insurance policies amounting to $22,000, in which their son, born April 8, 1878, 1s ‘en- titled to a one-fourth interest. >. ‘anted a Divorce.

An Officer Has no Dangerous Pight With Toughs. Officer Bloom had a dangerous time of it on Saturday night last at 10:30 o'clock. While attempting to make an arrest he was attacked by five ruffians from “Foggy Bottom” and narrowly escaped being thrown from the K street bridge into the creek below. The strength and coolness displayed until the arrival of assistance were the principal causes of his escape. The men had succeeded in getting the officer over the rail. The blue coat had fought them desparately for every inch, of ground, and accomplished wonders for one who was being attacked by five. Through {t all he refrained from pulling his revolver, though he would have been amply justified in doing so, Just as he was about to lose the strength he had so exerted assistance came, and all but one of the gang ran. The exception was in the clutch of the officer, and known as Tom Hickey. He w taken to the station. The trouble between the officer and the men originated over the attempt of the former to arrest one of the party, who was engaged in boisterous conduct. The companions of the men objected to the arrest, and through an attack secured the original prisoner's release, though got one of their own number incarcerated instead. All the parties were engaged in opening and drinking beer when the officer came upon them, Lutheran Pulpit. The pulpit of the German Lutheran Church, recently made vacant through the resignation of the Rev. George Nixdorf, after a pastorate of twenty-three year was yesterday filled by the Rev. Stanley Billheimer, a splendid speaker, who made a deep impression on the congregation through his eloquent delivery and pleasing manner. It is stated that until a regular appointment is made the Rev. Mr. W. D. Kuhn will act hereafter as the head of the church. The German Lutheran charge here is one that is hard to fill. The congre tion is very small, and not a wealthy on In fact, the church is not able to support a pastor. The Rev. Mr. Nixdorft was able to live without a salary from the church and gave his ministerial services free. It is expected now, however, that the congre- gation will hereafter be assisted in. the} maintenanée of a head by the board of missions. A Lively Scrap. Bell's court, opposite the “Twenty Build- irgs,” and but forty or fifty feet from that silent square known as the Presbyterian graveyard, was last night made the scene of a lively scrap over a game of crap. John Parker and William Active were tue the affair. Both came out second best—Parker with a stab wound and Active with a nose greatly mutilated by a razor. The parties were arrested. Notes. For the week ending June 23 there were shipped from the mines of the George's Creek region over the Chesapeake and Ohio canal 1,076 tons of coal. For the year end- ing that day 63,196 tons were shipped, a decrease of 45,518 tons, as compared with last year. The Rev. J. B. Stitt of the Dumbarton Street Methodist Church last night gave the “Character Making.” Mrs. Catherine V. Ridgway, widow of the late James Ridgway, died at her home on day morning. This morning funeral ser- vices were held at Trinity Church at 9:30 o'clock. The interment was at Holy Rood. The first new wheat of the season was re- ceived on Wednesday, the 27th, by W. H. Tenney & Sons, who have had ‘the first the season for the past twenty-four y This lot arrived by the steamer Waketiel from the farm of A.Scates ut Nomini Ferr; Mrs. James K. Probey and family leave today for the Green mountains, More Printers Discharged. Forty-six employes of the government printing office were discharged on Saturday | by Public Printer Benedict in his efforts to reduce his force to what he considers the proper limits. Two minor officials, Chief Timekeeper Weitz and George Fordham, as- sistant foreman of the folding room, tour- teen clerks, fifteen bookbinders, two of whom were women,six pressmen and eleven Printers made up the grand total. bWevesrun, on liminary hearing had been made. (Sympathy With the Strikers. ~ At @ four hours’ meeting of the Trades and Labor Assembly, the largest labor body in Chicago, held yesterday afternoon, resolutions were passed tendering all the aid possible to the American Railway Union, and empowering the executive board of their body to act as it sees fit. The senti- ment of the meeting was strongly in sym- pathy with the strikers. A lively session was held, during which the lie was freely passed and any man who dared oppose the extending of aid to the strikers was round- ly and openly denounced. Delegate Tommy Morgan, a socialist, de- clared now was the time for the struggle between labor and capital which has been so Jong impending, and that he was in fa- vor of at cnce stopping work in Chicago in order to prevent What must be in the event Ot the failure of labor to win in this con- test a bloody revolution. These sentiments were hailed with wild cheers from the dele- Bates, At the headquarters of the A. R.U. every- thing. was quiet. Very littie business was transacted, most of the directors and or- Senizery taking advantage of the many Yocal meetings to take a rest. Committees reported that the remainder of the Brotherhood tiremen in the Lilinois Ceutral, numbering about eighty, had been won, 6ver, and as a result no suburban trains could be run, as first intended yes- terday. The engineers, however, are divided, and unless more pressure is brought to bear it Will be impossible to, imfluence the men as a body. The members of the Order of Rail- w ‘onductors’ division ef the Hlinois Central have also split, a number having resolved to support the A. R. U. at all haz- ards. The firemen on the Northwestern perfect- ed their new organization yesterday, and all of them have been ordered out. No freight trains were gotten out, and it was with diiiculty that the passenger trains account of the fact that most of the passenger men on both the Galena and Wisconsin divisions have been won over. Assistant Superintendent Moulton acted as fireman on the Milwaukee mail train leaving Chicago. Another meeting of the Northwestern trainmen will be held today. The places of those of the passenger men who quit yesterday were promptly filled. A report reached headquarters yesterday afternoon that the pins in the puzzle and | interlocking switches on all tracks in the South end had been pulled early in the morning, and that no trains could be run over the terminal until a complete read- justment of the switches was made. This Will reTidre from two Weeks to a month of ‘expert labor. ‘WA telderam received at headquarters from the styikers’ committee at St. Paul, yes- terday afternoon, announced that the Great Northern, officials had instructed their em- ployes that they need not handle the cars of roads involved in the strike. Late yes- terday afternoon the tower men on the Northwestern went out, and all switches and crossings are blocked in consequence. lt was reported by wire at headquarters that the tie-up on the Wabash system had been cempleted in the afternoon, and the eight trains, including mail trains, were be- ing held at Decatur. False Report About Strikers. ‘The railroad situation in California was worse yesterday than at any time since the | beginning of the strike. Early in the morn- | ing a report came from Dunsmuir that the | 900+fddk trestie between that place and the | tostn of Mott had beea destroyed by strik- | ers. A later report stated that but 160 | feet of the trestle had been burned, and | this was subsequently confirmed. The deed , is not generally attributed to strikers or their sympathizers, as they assisted in ex- Ungulsiiing the flames, and had delegated | number of their men to aid in the pro- tection of railroad property. The.Oregon express, which left Oakland at 8 o'clock Saturday night, was tied up at Red Bluff early yesterday morning, the strikers stopping the train by greasing the tracks, and detaching the Pullmans from the day coaches. The strikers assembled | arcund the engine, abused the engineer, fireman and guard, but made no attempt to injure them in any manner. The train had not been able to resume its journey up to | last. evening. At Sxeramento the situation has not changed. Yesterday afternoon Chairman Knox of the A. R. U. received the follow- ing tolegram from President Debs: “Wire your Congressmen and Senators | immediately, urging them to support Sena- tor Kyle's mail-train resolution. Our pros- pects are growing brighter everywhere. All employes, regardless of organization, are supporting us. Employes of all lines will | stand together, and none will return until all are reinstated.” Supt. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific went up to Sacramento yesterday after- noon, <nd will attempt to have the men re- turn to work. If he thinks necessary, he will appeal to the government to call cut troops. The New Orleans express proceed- ed from Fresno to Bakersfield yesterday morning, where it again stopped. Quiet | reigned at Oakland all day, the railroad company making no attempt to send out! through trains. A vigo ‘s attempt was made at Los | Angeles sterday afternoon to send out a Santa Fe train, but it was not successful, ~, MtaLog Angeles the federal grand jury, ain thgether by Judge Ross Saturday, found a true bill against a large number of gtiikers who endeavored to persuade men frem taking out a Santa Fe train. War- rarts will be issued today and attempts made to arrest the indicted men, There is no important new features in the situation in San Diego. No effort has been made there to get out a train since | Friday. General Manager Towns of the Scuthern Pacific company declares that there is no truth in the report from Chi- cago that several of the big railroad com- paries had decided to ask Pullman to ar- bitfate*With the American Railroad Union. | Three hundred clerks have been dismiss- edfrom:the general offices of the Southern Pacitic in San Francisco. They will be re- instated as soon as traffic is resumed. The continuation of the strike has so badiy de- moralized the trade of® large business houses and manufacturing establishments in San Francisco as to nevessitate the clos- ing of many places and temporary suspen- sion of operation until there ts some pros- pect of receiving and shipping goods. A$ & consequence, many men are thrown out of employment. ie # SEVERAL WERE URED. A Lively Collision on the Chesapeake and Ohio. Saturday afternoon the passengers on the St. Louis express train on the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad were given a lively shaking up near Rapidan, a station on the road about seventy-five miles from this city. The train left here at 2:25 in the afternoon, and the accident happened two hours later. Near Rapidan the tracks are used by the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Richmond and Danville roads. There was a freight train on the siding near Rapidan, and just about the time of the approach of the express the freight was moving from the siding to take the main track. Torpedoes had been put on the track to warn the express of the danger, but Engi- reer Avery of the fast train heard no ex- picsion, and so his train was moving into Rapidan at a fast rate of speed, when he suddenly noticed the rear end of the freight cn his track. To stop the fast express in time to avoid a collision was impossible, but the engineer reversed his engine, whis- tled down brakes and did the best he could under the circumstances and remained at his post instead of jumping. Fireman Por- ter also remained on the engine, and both men were slightly injured, while Postal Clerk B. F. Myers suffered a sprained ankle. Mr. Harry W. Fuller, general pas- senger agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, was riding in the baggage car when he felt the result of the reversal of the engine. The baggageman also felt the shock, and they managed to get out of the car door without waiting for the accident to . Mr. Fuller thought he wocld do likewise rather than chance being killed in @ collision, and so he went to the door and made an effort to jump. In doing so he stumbléed, but he managed to get out of the car door and reach the ground. Both his legs were broken. An instant later the crash came and sev- eral freight cars were derailed and partly demolished, the track was torn up for a short distance and one of the trainmen on the freight had his lez badly crushed. A tramp who was making his way west be- tween the cars also had his legs broken. He was cared for at Rapidan, while the injured man from the freight train was sent to Culpeper. A special train was made up as soon es the track could be cleared and Mr. Fuller, who was so badly injured, was brought here, as was Postal Clerk Myers. The special train was met at the depot by W. A. Turk, passenger agent of the Richmond and Danviile road, several intimate friends of the injured man end Dr. Z. T. Sowers. The injured man was taken to his home, No. 1767 P street. He was almost exhausted, the shock and trip here being almost more than he could stand, and although his suffering was in- tense he did not lose consciousness. This morning his friends were glad to learn from Dr. Sowers that the patient was out of danger and that his legs would not even have to be amputated. ies Officers Elected.
